The Patient Is Our Purpose
Safety is our number one focus at RIM. Creating a program that safely meets the needs of the patient is very important to us. Feedback from the patient and their support systems are used in creating our annual plan.
Our Patient Satisfaction
RIM uses feedback from patients after discharge to improve programs. Our patients were very satisfied in 2022. This was same or better than other similar rehab hospitals in the nation. We work to improved in areas where our patients are not very satisfied.
- All patients with any condition reported being very satisfied after discharge including those treated for a stroke, an amputation, a spinal cord injury, or a brain injury.
